Who or what inspires your writing?
As things change in my life, my inspiration changes. I’ve been inspired by my own family, music videos, and most recently, houses that I pass every day.

When did you know you would be a writer?
I think I was in grade school when I gave up on being a movie star and decided that I wanted to be a writer. I thought it would be more fun to write stories that became movies rather than just star in them.

How long did it take you to write your first novel?
I wrote my first novel through high school and it took most of my high school years to complete. It’s, of course, awful!

What is the hardest part of writing for you?
I tend to get ideas that are completely unrelated to what I’m working on at that moment. Also, as a single mom, life tends to get in the way an awful lot.

Do you have any writing rituals?
I write everything out in spiral notebooks first and then my first rewrite is when I type it into my computer. I also tend to write out of order, working on whatever scene is strongest in my brain at that moment.

Have you written any thing else?
My fiction work includes many short stories for literary magazines, a literary novel titled Ghost Country, and a romance novel Two Out of Three.

Any advice to aspiring writers?
Don’t give up and keep writing. It’s a great time to be a writer.

Who are your favorite Authors?
I love Anne Rice and Amanda Hocking, but also a few oldies.

What are your favorite books, or which book has impacted you the most?Gone With The Wind is still my favorite book of all time. I’ve read my copy so many times that the ink is wearing from the edges of the pages.

What are you currently reading?
I recently bought the new paperback version of Switched by Amanda Hocking.

The brain is one of the most complex
biological structures that scientists and doctors have ever encountered. It is
like a machine that runs non-stop that has the computing power to be able to
make very complex decisions and experience unexplainable phenomena like
emotions. The brain controls every other organ in the body so it is arguably
the most important one. Unfortunately, probably due to its brilliance, it is a
fairly vulnerable structure that can and does degrade over time. Many experts agree that one of the best ways
to maintain the health of the brain is to keep it active, just as you would

that are very important to maintaining a healthy brain and preventing its
decline. Reviewy

that can be used to boost brain power and protect it from degradation. Check
